what Will we Do with the crowd7

What Will We Do with the Crowd?
Upon the completion of the railroad
to Sturgis this fall we may reasonably
expect our population to increase very
materially. We expect it and therefore
should be prepared to make this influx
permanent and prosperous. We are in
directly assured of Sturgis being the
terminus for some months to come at
least. There are also strong probabil-
tiles that Sturgis viii be selected as a
division station. Prospects are fattering
too, for this place to reap large benefits
from another cause which will attract the
attention of capital and assist in swelling
the population Of the town. The excel
lent crops in the many rich valleys
tributary to Sturgis will play promi-
nent part in causing the town to have a
genuine, substantial boom. Now, then,
if the several men who have large landed
interests in the town will erect a
number of good substantial tenement
houses at once, there will be place for
the newcomer to domicile his family when
he arrives. Iu this wise vacant lots in
the vicinity of the now buildings
would rapidly increase in value, a good
revenue would accrue from rents, and
the town would have healthful apear-
ance. Let everyone who can put up a
good residence building, and at the same
time encourage others with limited means
by offering lots at nominal figures.
Agitate this question, and build the
houses which are needed now There is
not vacant dwelling in Sturgis to-day.

The clever recital OF q most exciting

be the very largest arotic whale they
ever saw in or out of the water, and it is
also the only one of its gigantic species
ever exhibited In any country.
The immense transparent tank con-
tanning the huge Oceanic giant is of
course many times larger than the
largest portable country, ut least. ,
and in transit, the aquarium
den this ever constructed, In
